03.45 PM : Chowpatty Beach
Chowpatty is Mumbai's most prominent beach. During the day, it is the regular place of the happily unemployed who nap under the shade of its miniature trees. But in the evening the atmosphere is more like a carnival, kids screaming on Ferris wheels or taking pony rides, wayside astrologers making a quick buck, monkey shows, and even the odd self -styled gymnast who will demonstrate amazing yogic postures for a small fee. At one closing stages is a row of bhelpuri shops hawking Mumbai's most popular snack: crisp puffed rice and semolina wet in pungent chutneys, all scooped up with a flat, fried puri. You might even catch a film shoot or a street play. In short, for most tourists Chowpatty is where the action that they will enjoy on their day tout to Mumbai.

The clothes are soaked in sudsy water, thrashed on the flogging stones, then tossed into huge vats of boiling starch and hung out to dry. Next, they are ironed and piled into neat bundles.

What our travellers have to say .....

For me it was a great way to explore the nearby attractions during business trip to Bangalore. Halebidu and Belur temples are amazing. I keep travelling to different cities in India for business and I am simply in love with your style of organising the quick tours which gives me so much of flexibility, freedom and at the same time they are well organised and well executed. Thanks Max for your extra work for arranging

We spent good time with innocent and calm elephants at your farm near Jaipur. We had elephant experience earlier in other countries but this one was the best. During the sightseeing trip our tour guide was just fantastic and his knowledge about the culture of India was great. My teen boys are already talking about coming to India with me again and enjoying such trips which gives them a different experience they never
had before. India is really incredible" !

I have returned to home after a long and hectic business trip to India. I stayed in Mumbai for quite a long time and wanted to explore some beautiful locations around. I booked a Wine tour and Dabbawala tour (Tiffin system) with your agency and though Wine trip to Nashik was close to my heart (bcos I love Indian wines LoL) but to be very honest both the trips were perfectly arranged and the drivers on both the trips
were very friendly and a great support."
